Let’s Face It (Pun Intended!)
Nobody wants to look like they’ve had work done, but everyone wants to look refreshed, rested, and more youthful.
That’s where mini facelifts come in — the perfect middle ground for people who aren’t ready for a full facelift but want to smooth early signs of ageing, especially around the jawline and lower face.
Who Is It For?
If you're in your 40s or early 50s and noticing:
- Slight sagging under your chin
- A less defined jawline
- Early jowls forming
Then a mini facelift might just be your secret weapon.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Unlike traditional facelifts that require longer incisions and hospital stays, this procedure is usually done under local anaesthetic — meaning you’re awake but comfortable. Small, smartly placed incisions are made near your ears, and the deeper facial layer (SMAS) is gently tightened to lift and support your natural contours.
No dramatic changes. No obvious scars. Just a fresher, more alert version of you.
How Long Does It Take & What About Recovery?
Most mini facelifts take about 2–3 hours, and you’ll go home the same day. Swelling and bruising are minimal, and most people return to light activities in a few days — even back to work within a week.
You won’t need a long vacation from life — just a long weekend.
Can I Combine It With Other Treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients pair their mini facelift with:
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
- Facial fat grafting
- Skin tightening treatments
- Botox or fillers
It’s all about creating harmony and balance without overdoing it.
Final Thoughts
Mini facelifts are popular because they deliver subtle, real results. You’ll still look like you—only more energised, refreshed, and confident.
